An installation screen is easiest to understand when you read it as a short record of four things: the application, the changes it describes, the choices it offers, and the way to finish or leave the setup. Taking a minute to read those fields helps you know what you are choosing.
Quick answer
Before selecting a setup option, check:
- The application name and version;
- The purpose of the application and any settings it says it may change;
- Any optional component or offer that is listed on the screen;
- The meaning of accept, cancel, skip, or decline; and
- How the operating system normally removes the application later.
Read The Application And The Proposed Changes
Start with the name shown on the screen and compare it with the route you used. Read the short description of what the application does. If the screen lists a change to a default browser, search setting, homepage, extension, or another preference, note it before continuing.
The information belongs to the particular release being installed. A general product page can explain the product, but it cannot replace the wording shown in the setup for the copy on your device.
If the setup lists an optional item, read its name and the choice attached to it. You can then decide whether it belongs in your installation record.
Read Each Choice as an Action
The words on a button should tell you what happens next. Check whether the screen explains:
- What accepting includes;
- What skipping or declining leaves out;
- Whether cancelling ends the setup; and
- Whether the main application and an optional item are separate choices.
If a browser installation choice is unclear, pause and save the wording. A precise question to Support is easier to answer than a description based on memory.
Keep a Small Installation Record
Save the source, platform, version, settings mentioned by the setup, and the choices you made. A screenshot or copied sentence can help when the interface changes later. Do not store passwords, payment details, or license keys in the record.
Wave Browser’s primary U.S. English route is wavebrowser.co. Wave states that its Windows and macOS releases go through AppEsteem certification before shipping. AppEsteem’s published requirements cover disclosure, settings-change explanations, understandable choices, and standard removal controls. That is the scope of the certification requirements; your record remains the direct account of the installation you accepted.
After Setup
You can review the current application and version in the operating system or the application’s own information. Many browser preferences can be adjusted later in the browser or operating system settings. If you need to remove a desktop installation, use the operating system’s standard application-removal process or contact support@wavebrowser.co for help with a specific case.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the installation screen does not answer my question?
Mark that detail as unknown, keep the exact wording that is available, and ask Support with the platform and version.
Do the certification requirements tell me exactly what my screen will look like?
No. They describe areas a certification program examines. The release-specific setup screen is the source for what your installation presents.
Can I change a setting after installation?
Many settings can be reviewed in the browser or operating system. Check the current setting and the documentation for your platform before changing it.
